Why should I choose this career? Is this career any good, and if so, how good is it? These are the kinds of questions people ask themselves and experienced business analysts when they are looking into possibilities business analysis might create. Unfortunately, there is no straight answer to this. In this episode, my guest is Jamie Toyne, a business analyst with over 15 years of experience.

His roles included Consultant Head of Business Analysis at the Ministry of Justice with over 60 BAs and Head of Business Analysis at the Department for Work and Pensions with over 300 BAs. He is also an active member of the wider digital and BA community, regularly speaking at conferences & events, writing articles & blogs, and an occasional book reviewer for the BCS. Today, Jamie is the Founder and CEO of ‪@herdconsulting‬.
